The conception of this company started when thepresident of the company made his first trip to the Northern regionof Ghana. It was on this journey by road that Andrew Nii SowahKpobi discovered how blessed the northern land and its people are.On that trip, he came across vast land that has neither beencultivated or developed. It was fallow. He saw the vast landcovered in greenery and it was a very pleasant sight. Years later, he discovered that the vast land with those wildtrees were mostly shea trees. That was when the concept and visionof Shemenzera was birthed. Once, in Karaga, a small village in the Northern Region of Ghana,he started building a network of friends who he knew were going toaid in bringing the vision of Shemenzera to fruition. Shemenzeratook a very long while to develop and has evolved into what we nowsee. As at now Shemenzera has a very strong presence in all the threeNorthern Regions of Ghana and we operate from the villages where wehave a network of peasant farmers especially women who worktirelessly by the day in making us what we are now.The successes we have clocked is as a result of these selflesswomen and farmers who work very hard to keep their livelihood.
